It’s not patient choice if patients are being lied to about the benefits and safety of using such alternativeshttps://twitter.com/drkerrynphelps/status/1111792124280754176 …
Is there a reference for the 1/3 figure? From a quick Google ~70% of the first 20 naturopath websites I could find in Sydney specifically referenced homeopathy as a service they provide

That analysis was something we pulled out of PRACI dataset (a PBRN for CAM practitioners) for the overview paper I linked to previously. It has not been published in a journal specifically yet, but that overview available. Full details of the PRACI here: https://praci.com.au/

I'd also caution looking at advertising to determine representative practice. In most professions (inc. our work in dentistry, IVF, etc) good rule of thumb is "those who quack most, quack loudest". Ads usually skew towards problem pracs, & most pracs have minimal advertising

Of course, compounding is that as an unregulated profession, you have people with relevant 4yr accredited qualification, and those with nothing using the title. PRACI is limited to those with quals who are members of a professional association, but web ads would not have limit

Should prob also caveat that comments about education refer to accredited programs. There are multiple unaccredited programs (like this one in Sydney), which admit are "not nationally recognised qualifications under the Australian Qualification Framework": http://www.naturecare.com.au/courses/naturopathic-health-and-wellness/10/advanced-diploma-of-integrative-natural-health-/29 …
